Jerusalem Hebrew: יְרוּשָׁלַיִם Arabic: القُدس‎located on a plateau in the Judean Mountains
between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea, is one of the oldest cities in the
world. It is considered holy to the three major Abrahamic religions—Judaism,
Christianity and Islam. Israelis and Palestinians both claim Jerusalem as their
capital, as Israel maintains its primary governmental institutions there and the
State of Palestine ultimately foresees it as its seat of power; however,
neither claim is widely recognized internationally.During its long history,
Jerusalem has been destroyed twice, besieged 23 times, attacked 52 times, and
captured and recaptured 44 times. The oldest part of the city was settled in
the 4th millennium BCE. In 1538, walls were built around Jerusalem under
Suleiman the Magnificent. Today those walls define the Old City, which has been
traditionally divided into four quarters—known since the early 19th century as
the Armenian, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim Quarters. The Old City became a
World Heritage site in 1981, and is on the List of World Heritage in Danger.
Modern Jerusalem has grown far beyond its boundaries.According to the Biblical
tradition, King David established the city as the capital of the united Kingdom
of Israel and his son, King Solomon, commissioned the building of the First
Temple. These foundational events, straddling the dawn of the Ist Millenium
BCE, assumed central symbolic importance for the Jewish People. The sobriquet
of holy city (עיר הקודש, transliterated ‘ir
haqodesh) was probably attached to Jerusalem in post-exilic times. The
holiness of Jerusalem in Christianity, conserved in the Septuagint which
Christians adopted as their own authority, was reinforced by the New Testament
account of Jesus's crucifixion there. In Sunni Islam Jerusalem is the
third-holiest city, after Mecca and Medina. In
Islamic tradition in 610 CE it became the first Qibla, the focal point for
Muslim prayer (Salah), and Muhammad made his Night Journey there ten years
later, ascending to heaven where he speaks to God, according to the Quran. As a
result, despite having an area of only 0.9 square kilometres
(0.35sqmi), the Old City is home to many sites of seminal religious
importance, among them the Temple Mount and its Western Wall, the Church of the
Holy Sepulchre, the Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa Mosque.Today, the status of
Jerusalem remains one of the core issues in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.
During the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, West Jerusalem was among the areas captured
and later annexed by Israel while East Jerusalem, including the Old City, was
captured and later annexed by Jordan. Israel captured East Jerusalem from
Jordan during the 1967 Six-Day War and subsequently annexed it. Currently,
Israel's Basic Law refers to Jerusalem as the country's "undivided
capital". The international community has rejected the latter annexation
as illegal and treats East Jerusalem as Palestinian territory occupied by Israe
The international community does not recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital,
and the city hosts no foreign embassies.According to the Palestinian Central
Bureau of Statistics, 208,000 Palestinians live in East Jerusalem, which is
sought by the Palestinian Authority as the capital of Palestine.All branches of
the Israeli government are located in Jerusalem, including the Knesset
(Israel's parliament), the residences of the Prime Minister and President, and
the Supreme Court. Jerusalem is home to the Hebrew University and to the Israel
Museum with its Shrine of the Book. The Jerusalem Biblical Zoo has ranked
consistently as Israel's top tourist attraction for Israelis * The Flag of Jerusalem is based on the
Flag of Israel. It
features two horizontal blue stripes reminiscent of the tallit, or Jewish prayer shawl. In
the center are Jerusalem's coat of arms,
which consists of a shield with the lion of Judah superimposed
on a stylized background representing the kotel, flanked on either
side with olive branches. The word
יְרוּשָׁלַיִם (i.e. Yerushalayim, Hebrew for "Jerusalem")
appears above the shield. A vertical variant is sometimes used during ceremonial
functions. The Flag was adopted in 1949 following a contest held by the
municipal government of Jerusalem, which was established by Israel (in the
western part of the city). It became the Flag of a united Jerusalem following
the Six Day War in
1967.
